{{Resolved}}Been trying to find this article for a few days now with no luck. There is a copy on the USC online Library that I can see, and a preview/copy available for purchase on ProQuest. I only want to see where they cite a claim from in regards to "Churches were raided if a liturgy in Coptic was heard (Soliman 49)" so paying $40 for the pleasure sounds a little unreasonable.
I'd like the two chapters "THE GAZA GENOCIDE" and "THE STRUCTURE OF GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE" forGaza genocide. It appears this book is currently only accessible via JSTOR books.
{{resolved}}Hi all, has anyone got access to this? Vol. I seems pretty readily available, but I'm having no luck with II. If possible, I'd like a look at the index!

Hello, thank you for the help.
RE: 1) Indeed, the title of their book is "CATÁLOGO TIPOLÓGICO DEL CUENTO FOLKLÓRICO ESPAÑOL CUENTOS MARAVILLOSOS".
2) Aprile's book is titled thus: "Indice delle fiabe popolari italiane di magia Vol. I**" (with two asterisks). It could mean being a part 2 of a Vol. 1.KHR FolkMyth (talk)02:33, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
^I was just about to write that! But yes: pre-2004, there were these *two* tale types about a hero and his helpful horse, which are now, post-2004, subsumed under the same type, so there is need to check some individual indexes to see if they are separate or not. But got the first one.KHR FolkMyth (talk)01:50, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no magazine titled "Bericht der Naturforsch Gesellschaftsgründung", the title makes no sense in German.

I believe it's this publication[2], OCLC7550425. The report is mentioned here[3]:
Der japanische Nörz, Foetorius Itatsi Temm., dessen Stellung im Systeme zweifelhaft war, ist nach den Untersuchungen von Prof. Dr. Wilh. Blasius nach den Kennzeichen an dem Schädel und der Färbung ein echter Nörz. D. Brauns hat früher schon nach Untersuchung zahlreicher frischer Exemplare die nackten Stellen an den Fußsohlen, sowie die halben Schwimm-häute ebenso genau konstatieren können, wie dies für die Nörze als charak-teristisch festgestellt ist. Nimmt man ferner noch die amphibische Lebens-weise und die Art der Ernährung — F. Itatsi liebt ebensosehr Fische und Krebse wie Ratten, Mäuse und Vögel — so scheint über die Zugehörigkeit der japanischen Art zu den Nörzen kein Zweifel mehr möglich zu sein. Von letzteren kennt man bis jetzt drei Arten, den amerikanischen Foetoriits Vison als den größeren, den europäischen Foetorius Lutreola als den mittleren und den japanischen Foetorius Itatsi als den kleinsten Nörz.
Unfortunately that's how the report has been cited in a bunch of recent published papers on this topic, probably the cause of confusion here.Katzrockso (talk)10:23, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

HathiTrust has everything from 1904 to 1921 online.[7] The date on this is 1933 I believe, but the volume and issue are unknown, but probably volume 30 to 32. This is forCarl Borgmann.

Viriditas, this is also inthe Google Books entry for volumes 30–31, so we can eliminate 32. Moreover, from some searching of the snipped view, I think the article is in the November 1933 issue. I've requested a scan from my library. In addition, to your point about it being depressing that materials from 1933 isn't widely available (which is depressing indeed), I think the copyright for this work has lapsed; there's no recordhere of a renewal. I've thus asked Google to review the copyright status (using the "Report an issue" link at the bottom of the Google Books page). This frequently works, although not always. --Usernameunique (talk)20:33, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
